"Somewhere near Swanage, Paul Nash once photographed a block of steps, standing alone and isolated on a hillside. As I am walking along the seashore from the Wellington monument to the pier, I see another set of steps which end abruptly in the seawall. No doubt they once had a purpose, but right now I love their pointlessness, their lack of functionality turning them, as it were, into sculpture."
